TORTA BRIAGA AL VINSANTO
Cake with Vinsanto
The Torta Briaga al Vinsanto is a specialty of Signorini Pastry Shop in Prato, in which vinsanto, together with carmignano figs, is the main ingredient.
A cake with a robust flavour, for those who truly love the vinsanto, infact briaga means drunk.
It is made with vinsanto, pine nuts, dried figs, acacia honey from Val Bisenzio, all wrapped up in a rich shortbread pastry.
The heart of the cake is the jelly inside, made from vinsanto, sugar and starches.
